डोर, Dor means rope in Hindi. Aanand foundation’s आनंद डोर, Aanand Dor is a rope of support given to make them self reliant. खण, “Khun”, a light weight fabric with numerous designs, motifs, and patterns on it, used to stitch blouses in Maharashtra and Karnataka since historical times. With efforts of social workers, this traditionally woven fabric is now widely used to create various household decor and aesthetic items. खण, “Khun” Toran is one such item.
तोरण, Toran is a string with mango leaves and marigold flowers or a string with pieces of fabric or metal or wood attached at the entrance of the door to welcome Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi with a belief to please her. This, तोरण Toran, is the first things that welcome guests too. So lot of importance is given to तोरण Torans. To weave the golden threads of happiness into the web of life, we decided to undertake a project of women empowerment for women artisans, in which various lessons were imparted to create beautiful तोरण, Torans out of Khun fabric and other useful and aesthetically sought after items of Khun, like Dupattas, table runners, pillow covers etc. This helps not only to make these homemakers independent but also promote the rich cultural heritage of Maharashtra and India.
Aanand grooming is Aanand foundation’s another initiative wherein training with respect to facing interview panels, English speaking and other self presentation details will be imparted to bright students from rural areas who aspire to crack civil services and other competitive examinations. To serve as a civil servant is a dream of many young minds coming from even the remote corners of the state. But they don’t know where to start, how to start and what it requires to achieve this goal. During our regular visits to rural areas, we sensed this need for guidance to crack these competitive exams. We are confident that this initiative would equip these students to prepare for these examinations and help them succeed.
वाटा, Vaata mean Paths. In our endeavour of creating happy communities, we @Aanand foundation, came across many people in the rural areas of Maharashtra, especially women, who never happened to step out of four walls of their houses, nor they got any opportunity to earn their livelihood and thus had no financial independence. In an effort to create self reliant community by providing them with employability/vocational skills and resource support, we conceived various projects for people, who have been deprived of desirable opportunities. Thus we decided to make them independent by showing them various Paths of happiness (आनंद वाटा, Aanand Vaata).
